Third Thread: The Conspiracy Theory Voters

Aka let's try to do SPD again, Sarah Palin's Disease. Sorry, my 2nd Thread was longer than I expected with Newt.

So now let's do Sarah Palin properly, in her own thread.

While George Wallace is the grandfather to Trump's run in 2016 (starting in 2015), there are not enough racist voters to win the election. Not even enough racists to win the NOMINATION of the GOP.

Trump needed to expand his support in 2015 & 2016. He needed INSANE voters.
The real prototype candidate to Donald Trump is Sarah Palin - a candidate so bad, she COST John McCain millions of votes in 2008 against Obama. Yes, exit polls are clear, for every 2 votes Sarah brought in to McCain she brought 3 votes to Obama. Net cost to McCain several MILLION
Sarah Palin was the Fake News candidate, who bravely battled reality and 'Lame Stream Media' for the past 12 years since her loss in 2008. She had a lunatic base of voters who believe in the conspiracy theories she spews. As Sarah Palin wasn't running, those voter went to Trump
We need to discuss the Tea Party. Back in the 2008 cycle, the progressives had a spontaneous movement in the economic criss to 'Occupy Wall Street'.

VERY EARLY in that movement, a 'sister' movement started as the Tea Party, against big government
Very early Tea Party had some synergies with Occupy Wall Street. But the progressives of OWS were unwilling to take corporate sponsorships and run a political platform and agenda. Meanwhile some opportunists captured the Tea Party movement AND SOLD IT to right wing supporters
The Tea Party 'patriots' are in every way an abomination of the original Boston Tea Party that launched the American Revolution against British rule and led to the USA Independence.

But by 2008, Sarah Palin had emerged as the poster girl for the Tea Party nutters
There were a few early principled Tea Partiers. But the movement evolved into the 'Freedom Caucus' of the modern GOP in Congress epitomized by Ted Cruz, Matt Gaetz, Gym Jordan etc. Absolutely batshit crazy conspiracy nutters and EXTREMIST right wing fanatics
This comes back to Gerrymandering. If a political party gets to draw Congressional districts so, that their party is guaranteed seats - guaranteed seats will no longer behave 'sensibly' in a political world.

Their candidates are PUNISHED for compromise, REWARDED for fanaticism
Sarah Palin's Disease aka SDP - is incurable. Once you are infected by SPD, if you hold a gerrymandered seat - or seat in a red state - your ONLY fear is to be PRIMARIED - by someone more madly maga than you.

THIS IS A CANCER

IT IS INCURABLE

IT has killed the GOP as we know it
Under NORMAL elections, this catastrophic electoral suicide strategy would have been obvious to the GOP back in 2008 or latest 2010-2012.

Because of Gerrymandering and Electoral College, and the freak 2016 Trump electioni cycle - GOP did not properly diagnose what is wrong
The GOP's pain today will be FAR WORSE to rid the party of SPD (=Sarah Palin's Disease = Maganutters) than it would have been back in 2016.

The GOP has lost the House, lost the White House and lost the Senate - even WITH the 'cheating' like gerrymandering, voter suppression..
The GOP has to consider WHICH WAY to fix itself. Those who are maganutters will not WILLINGLY abadnon their seats. They will pledge their undying support to the maga god. This hurts ALL Republicans in 2022, 2024 cycles. And they were the smaller party to begin with

THIS IS INDEX THREAD

Because the FBI raid of Donald Trump's home in Mar-A-Lago involved nuclear secret documents that Trump deliberately was hiding, it is a crime that that carries DECADES of prison. If he tried to sell them, he could see death penalty

This links my Threads


First Thread about the Mar-A-Lago search was written before we knew about the nuclear documents. But this shows you how bad the GENERAL raid was on Trump. You may find it useful to read this Thread


My second Thread is about Merrick Garland's short press conference. It discusses the search warrant. And how severe this was, how thorough DOJ has been, giving valuable background on what happened BEFORE this search


This is my first attempt at a 'serious' Thread relating to news about the nuclear secret news. It is also the early draft of what will become my 'Path 6' to take Trump to prison for life (certainly. My previous 5 Paths also take Trump to prison


I was first person to estimate prison time for total Trump crime waves. I have now updated that. This is my latest update of total Trump prison time, including a very conservative count of prelim nuclear secret

This is an index Thread to let you find my 'Path' Threads. These six Paths are the main areas of criminal investigation that will take Donald Trump to prison for Life or more (each). I do regular updates to the Paths. This is the link to my August updates to each


Path 1 of 6 is the Weisselberg Path. This is about Donald Trump financial crimes from 2004 to 2021. Allen Weisselberg just pleaded guilty to 15 counts of tax fraud & grand larceny. It is only the first of his 9 criminal trials to


Path 2 of 6 is the Giuliani path of his crime spree 2019-2021. Rudy has been attempting to flip against Trump and get a plea bargain, after FBI raided his office, home and took his 18 phones. Rudy is not getting a


Path 3 of 6 is the Matt Gaetz path. This does not expect to catch Trump in rape or sex crimes. But Matt Gaetz's convicion as serial teen rapist (from 2020) will get to Trump crimes in selling Presidential Pardons


Path 5 of 6 is Tom Barrack path with Trump crimes 2016-2017. Tom ran a series of foreign policy crimes including the extortion of Qatar. Tom's criminal court case starts in September. He got superceding indictments incl

Long thread: Because I couldn’t find anything comprehensive, I’m just going to post everything I’ve seen in the news/Twitter about Trump’s activities related to the Jan 6th insurrection. I think the timing & context of his actions/inactions will matter a lot for a senate trial.

12/12: The earlier DC protest over the electoral college vote during clearly inspired Jan 6th. On Dec 12th, he tweeted: “Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal. Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA.”


12/19: Trump announces the Jan. 6th event by tweeting, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Immediately, insurrectionists begin to discuss the “Wild Protest.” Just 2 days later, this UK political analyst predicts the violence


12/26-27: Trump announces his participation on Twitter. On Dec. 29, the FBI sends out a nationwide bulletin warning legislatures about attacks https://t.co/Lgl4yk5aO1


1/1: Trump tweets the time of his protest. Then he retweets “The calvary is coming” on Jan. 6!” Sounds like a war? About this time, the FBI begins visiting right wing extremists to tell them not to go--does the FBI tell the president? https://t.co/3OxnB2AHdr

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.
